What an amazing year of hockey the 2018-2019 season was! This season saw the Warriors defeat the Monarchs at the Bantam 2 level to win the city championship. The Monarchs won the city championship against the Sharks but be defeated in the provincial finals by the Eastman Selects who had won the rural championship at Bantam 1. Finally the Monarchs narrowly defeated the Sharks to take home the U17 Prep league title. To go along with all of this amazing team success, there were many individual success stories.

Congratulations to all the award recipients and a job well done to all the nominees and players around the leagues.

Other notable new from the awards banquet:

The names of the leagues have been changed:

Provincial Midget -> U18 Provincial

U17 City Midget -> U17 Prep

Bantam 1 -> U15 Bantam

Bantam 2 -> U14 Bantam

With the U17 league becoming a prep league for the U18 Provincial league, the zones within the U17 leagues will now follow the U18 Provincial boundaries. This means that there will now only be 3 U17 teams within the city. Each team will have the same name as their corresponding U18 Provincial teams (Wild, Thrashers, Bruins).
